Attention! Integra models use a starter made by Nippondenso with a non-removable traction relay. In the event of failure, the entire assembly must be replaced. The description below applies to Mitsubishi starters.
1. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery.
Attention! If the stereo system installed in the car is equipped with a security code, before disconnecting the battery, make sure that you have the correct combination to activate the audio system!
2. Remove the starter (see Removal and installation of a starter).
3. Disconnect the large wire connecting the traction relay to the starter motor terminal.
4. Remove the long bolts securing the end cap to the gearbox housing (see accompanying illustration). Remove the anchor assembly housing.
5. Remove the mounting screws and separate the gearbox housing from the assembly front cover (see accompanying illustration).
6. Turn out fixing screws and separate a reducer casing from the traction relay (see accompanying illustration).
7. Installation is carried out in the reverse order. Lubricate the drive lever and the traction relay plunger with assembly grease before assembly (see accompanying illustration).
